Martial Arts Brings Community Together as it Releases Stress
by Lisa Dimino
All college students are familiar
with the word "stress." Everyone, at
one time or another, has felt overwhelmed and unable to cope with
their surroundings. Many people in
Farmville have discovered a way to
reduce stress, develop strength, increase endurance, and learn to move
with balance and correct posture. They
have discovered the martial an of
TAJJIQUAN (T'AI CHI).
The instructor. David Ingram, has
been involved in T'AI CHI for the
past fifteen years. He says he began
teaching the art because. "You don't
really know something until you can
explain it to someone else." He also
states that teaching requires him to do
more studying on his own.
Although T'AI CHI requires correct breathing, it is not aerobic. There

Outside, Sara was staring at the
recently refilled Fountain. It had all
started here with Shanna's death All
around (he Fountain there were

standing and talking to one another
She saw Hardy's car pull up and
watched the Detective gel out of the
car. He walked over to her.
"About Ume ya got your crack here
I've heen waiting over a half hour fer
ya What took ya so long?" Sara asked
impatiently Her foot tapped slightly
on the red bricks surrounding the Fountain.
"What you see here is quite possibly the largest amassment of police
this town has ever seen. It's not easy
getting all these heads lo think together." Hardy said ignoring her impatience.
"I don't care about all of that police
crap, I just want you lo get this guy fer
good."
"And that, little lady, is what we're
here lo do. So where is he?"
"His usual place His office, nitwit. Top floor, West Ruffner The

"Huh Psychology? How friggin'

"Well, you're the hoi shot detective figure it out yourself
"So. you see there's a problem

then fine, but if it turns oul he - innocent and we go in and bust him in from
of all his students and peers, we could
get sued to hell and back "
" llien what can we don I thought
you're the one who's supposed lo
know-it-all."
Hardy glares at her, while the
wheels are turning in his mind. He
was never been faced with such a
problem before this one. He turns
around. "If we canjust find somebody
lo go in and get his attention, to gel
him lo come out, so we can nail"
"Ya mean, red-handed?"
"Well it's nice to sec they leach

"Just a drunk," Hardy said
At ihis point, Sara's mind has been
coming up wilh her own liltle plan.
Though Hardy and Jimmy K will kill
her fordoing il. she knew there was no
other way. She would have to be the
one lo face Dr. Jericho. Now. all she
needed lo do was lo gel away from
Hardy.
When Hardy lumed away to talk lo
the other cops about gelling all of this

She turned and darted for the main
Colonnades' door All the lime, praying Jencho was in his office
Hardy turned around a lew seconds later to talk to Sara again.
"Sara? Sara, where arc you'" Hardy
asked looking around, bul she was
gone. "Darn, thai cra/y redhead! What
is she up lo ihis lime''"

"I'm a bit engaged. Mr. Kirkpatric,
could you possibly come back at a
later time," Jericho muttered not even
looking up from ihc stack of paper on
his desk.
"No, sir. this is rather important. I
need to speak with you now," James
said walking further in to the room
and closed the door behind him.
"Very well. What is it I can help
you with? Is it about your term paper?"
"Actually, no il isn't. Something
else."
"Well, come on, spit it oul. I
haven't gol all day "
"I was wondering, sir. Have you

heard about Melame's murder?"
Jericho remained silent, but Jimmy
saw his face pale suddenly Jericho

"Of course. Tragedy really. So

edge of the desk. He slowly stood up.
taking a deep breath "What. James?
What do you wonder?"
"I'm wondering how your pen, ihc
engraved Cross pen. was found at the
murder site A witness saw and picked
il up."
Jericho shaking slightly. The Beast
was coming on lo him Dear God, he
was coming oul. Jericho clenched his
teeth, trying to hold him back. "Are
you trying to accuse me of something.
Mr. Kirkpatric!?" His clenched teelh
acting as a cage to contain his scream.
"Gel oul. Jimmy." he mumbled
"GET OUT NOW!!!"
The Beast was loose and running
like a wild animal through Jericho's
veins; he could not contain his malignant alter ego any longer. The Beast
was gaining more power, taking over
Jericho's mind once again. The beast
wanted more blood spilled, more
death. But Jericho fought as hard as
he could; he did not want another
corpse to add lo the body count.
Jimmy staggered backward and
clutch spasmodically for the door
knob For a brief moment James felt
as if he would never find it. and then it
was there he fell the cold brass in the
palm of his hand and was oul. Jimmy
broke into a full boar run down the
hall. He did not see Sara turning the
comer and marching toward the office.

lenses and bending the wire frames
What did Ihe Beasl need with these
petty symbols of Jericho's tottering
insecurity? The transformation was
complete, Sara stood in the hallway
staring at the killer of her friends, the
respected Dr Kyle Jencho And he
saw her.
"We know," she said
Sara watched as the Beast crawled
over Jencho's desk scattering term
papers. She sprinted as fast as she
could down the stairs Pushing herself
even faster when she heard the bomb
like sounds of Jencho's feet coming
down the stairs. She could feel the hot
breath of the Beast on tlie back of her
neck, raising her hair and seeming lo
mell her flesh.
She leaps the last three steps of the
stairwell, rounds the bannister heading towards Blackwell. She makes a
sharp turn lo the right and almost
slips, but her mind prevents her from
falling saying that she would die if
thai happened. She runs towards the
front door and hits her shoulders
againsl a wall, but doesn't register the
pain. Leaps through Ihe doorway and
spnnts down ihe stairs with the Beast

Running towards Ihe Fountain.
Sara desparately looks for Hardy and
the cops. In Sara's mind, she is all
alone, just like Shanna and Melanie.
Not knowing exactly where the cops
where, in aciualtily, she really was
alone.
When Sara reached the Fountain,
the Beast grabs the nape of the neck
and pulls her back like a ragged doll.
He turns her around so her back is now
towards the Fountain.
"Is this what you did lo Shanna?"
Sara finally screamed when she found
her voice.

By now the cops have all gathered
around Jencho with their guns pulled
and aimed for him.
"Dr. Kyle Jencho, slep away from

Jericho looks up, his eyes are like
that of a lost boy The police rushed
towards him and push him to the
ground. As this happens. James
emerges from behind Hardy and rushes
over to Sara's side and takes her in his
arms.
Hardy wrenches one of Jericho's
arms around his back and slaps the
handcuffs on the wrist. While Hardy
is enjoying and savoring the moment,
Jericho reached back with his other
hand and ripped out Hardy's gun.

quickly back away. They realized they

Jericho gels up and leaps on the

down at the young couple with a sadness in his eyes.
"I'm sorry for all Ihe killings and

"Nooooooooooooooo It's not

"Yes, it's lime It's finally the right

chair from the Ad Hoc Committee
began with "a draft of the proposed

form "
The forms were distributed to all
who attended the Senate Meeting in
order to receive faculty input.
The Ad Hoc Committee states that
"the ciurent draft form will be used
this semester by volunteer faculty
members The information from the
forms will go directly to the faculty
member Those faculty will then provide wntten comments to the committee about the form, not the results of
the form."

At the end of the meeting Postel let
the Senate know it had been passed
earlier this week to boycott the present
student evaluations. Postel had a discussion with many of the faculty
present on why, and why not. the
student evaluations should be published
Postel reasoned that they needed
to be redesigned as Bingham had earlier brought up but "we are in favor of
publishing the results of the student
evaluations. The way that we see the
teacher evaluations is the teachers are
not held responsible to what the students express."
Dr. Knstine Palmer, professor of
Accounting, argued that it would be
nothing but a popularity contest and
the value of the content taught would
greatly decrease. Not to mention the
fact that the tables are turned on teachers because information of their students is not published, and therefore it
is the same problem.
Palmer also set up a important scenario that could affect a teacher career. "If a student walked into my

The selection of Longwood's next
president also was discussed. There
are three interview panel teams set to
interview prospective candidates for
the presidential position. Each panel
will concentrate on a different area to
question the candidates. Areas include external relations, institutional
vision, and leadership The candidates will have approximately two
and one half hours in each panel, with
the last candidate is interviewed on
December 15.
The Faculty Senate voted to meet
after the interview process is over, in
order to receive reports from the three
appointed committees to discuss findings of the presidential search.
The next Faculty Senate will meet
on December 15, at 8:00 PM to discuss the findings of the presidential

will then go to the Board of Visitors
and a president will be chosen.

there are one-hundred and thirty students involved in the program here at
Longwood which is approximately
4* of the undergraduates She explains that they do not wish to exceed
5'r of the undergraduate student enrollment.
Bagby further notes that, "there
has been an explosion of interest in
the program."
Students talk to other students
about the program, and as a result the
numbers have increased tremendously
since Bagby took over two years ago.
Bagby also states that many of the
students involved now are shifting

from ir.ulnnui.il majors intoareas such
as Pre-Med. Pre-Physical Therapy,
and many of the other health professions.
There are currently 640 colleges
with this type of program and the
trend will probably continue to grow.
The Honors program allows students with a desire to excel in their
achievements to do so through this
sysntm. Although the program is not
designed for everyone, it opens the
door for many who feel they are ready
to serve their community and become
the leaders of tomorrow.

National Sccurit\ Kducation Program

Next Generation
by Holly Annon

Students at Longwood have many
wonderful opportunities to make a
difference through community service. One of these possibilities to rielp
is the Big Siblings program The Big
Siblings program is a volunteer program which matches elementary
school children with Longwood students.
This endeavor involves a senous
commitment on the pan of the volunteer. Upon signing up for the Big
Siblings program, the volunteer is informed that the commitment is for one
year and requires the Big Sibling to
spend at least two hours a week with
his or her child.
There are various activities available to the siblings They can have
lunch together, play games, have recess during school, go to Longwood
sports events, help with classwork.
homework, or even attend the Little
Sibling's class.
Games are not the most important
part of being a Big Sibling. The idea
is to provide the child with an essential role model and friend, some one
who he or she can go to if they have a
problem.
According to the Big Sibling Training Manual. "Big Siblings are simply
older and wiser friends of the Little
Siblings." Big Siblings arc there to
provide fun, stability, guidance, education, and numerous olhei things in
the child's life.

Shelburne Three-point shooting specialist De Vonne Johnson, a 5-9 guard,
is the fourth senior.
"These guys (four seniors) have
a lot of playing time under their belts,"
said Carr. "Their experience should
help us. Personally. I would like to
see us improve our consistency as a
team. I'd like to see the seniors raise
their level of play."
Last season one of the four seniors led Longwood in scoring in 21
of 28 games, and in rebounding in 25
of 28 games. Jones. 14.9 ppg.. 6.7
rpg , led the way in scoring and on the
boards He also hit a team-best 59.1
percent of his field goals. Webb averaged 11 0 ppg and 6.2 rpg. to rank
second in both categories. Shelburne
scored 9 6 ppg. and pulled down 4.0
rpg. Johnson, who averaged 10.8ppg.,
set a Longwood record for three-point
field goals in a season, making 64 of
157 attempts for 40.8 percent.
The Lancers will miss the con-

tributions of last year's senior cocaptains J B Neill and Malt Watkins
Neill is the school's career leader in
three-point field goals made (157) and
attempted (424), while Watkins was
last year's top defender (64 steals) and
playmaker (110 assists). Carr is hoping several veteran players and newcomers will step forward to fill in he
gaps left by the absence of Watkins
and Neill.
Among the players expected to
step forward are 6-2 sophomore wing
Jason Outlaw and 6-5 junior forward
Melvin Bellamy Outlaw played well
while seeing action in 20 games last
year, while Bellamy averaged 10 minutes in 28 games, with averages of 3.5
ppg and 2.5 rpg.
"Melvin has the potential to step
up for us this season," said Carr. "The
more he adds lo our game, the better
we'll be.
"Jason will be a solid player for
us and see a lot of time."
Other veterans who will contribute include guards K.J. Courtney
and Junior Burr, a pair of 5-11 juniors,
